Two Days After

Two Days Later

Silent Sunday beckons
No traffic noises railing. 
Only silence speaking 
Of the need for human exhaling.

Stoves are spookily still,
Leftovers quietly cold for lunch,
Far away from this neighborhood
Is the frantic shopping bunch.

Straw hat on my head,
Book in my mumuu lap,
Silent Sunday closes my eyes,
And I nap, I nap.

I think you are right, Silent One. I just feel amateurish. Thank you for commenting.
